Introduction
This is the seventh national staff equality data report for higher education institutions. Its aim is to assist the sector in better understanding the main equality challenges for staff and directing future efforts to overcome them.
This report presents a snapshot of the age, disability, ethnicity and gender of the higher education workforce in the academic year 2012/13.
The report provides national figures which can be used: to consider the diversity and inclusivity of the HE
workforce as a whole to consider change and progress over time by individual institutions for benchmarking purposes
How to use this report
Data and analysis is provided on age, disability, ethnicity and gender, as well as on the interplay of these identities (for example, female black professors and male disabled senior managers). Each section is colour-coded for easier identification, and highlights key information alongside illustrative tables and charts.
A list of definitions and notes about the data precede the body of this report to clarify some of the terms used and how the data has been presented.
What’s new While this report builds upon the coverage of our previous reports, some aspects have been refined. For example, all
7
data tables are now accompanied with explanatory text to assist the user.
In addition, for the first time, our report presents high level findings on institutional collection and return rates of staff gender identity, religion and belief and sexual orientation data. We also include new tables on staff by contract level.
Please note: in 2012/13, a number of fields in the HESA staff record were either modified or discontinued. As a result, data concerning academic and professional and support staff; gender; departments; professorial status; and senior management status are not comparable to data prior to 2012/13. Additional detail is provided in the About the data section.
Online data tables To help users access and analyse our data, all data tables presented in this report are also available for download in Excel format. Where appropriate, these tables provide additional detail to those in this report, such as total counts and percentages. www.ecu.ac.uk/publications/equality-in higher-educationstatistical-report-2014
heidi Extra higher education data can be accessed via ‘heidi,’ a web based management information service for higher education institutions (HEIs) and approved higher education stakeholder organisations run by the Higher Education Statistical Agency (HESA). The database provides easy access to a wide range of national quantitative data about higher education, and functionality for analysis, presentation and comparison of the data with other institutions.
8
The heidi system also allows users to manipulate the data to compare their performance with that of particular groups of institutions, for example within sector groups, national or regional areas.
For further information on heidi, including training materials, see www.heidi.ac.uk.
Additional resources
It is important to note that the monitoring information that institutions supply to HESA is not the only source of equality information within an institution. For example, institutions will also collect information via staff surveys, involvement activities and HR records.
Using the national figures within this report alongside institutional figures and information gathered from these other sources will give institutions a fuller picture of equality in their institution, allowing them to set evidence-based equality outcomes and objectives.

About the data
The analysis in this report is based upon data drawn from the HESA staff record 2003/04 to 2012/13.
Due to changes HESA implemented in 2012/13, some information is not comparable to previous reports.
This record covers all academic and professional and support staff holding one or more contracts of employment with a UK higher education institution. The analysis presented here is based on a small selection of the large amount of data available from HESA.
This does not include staff on consultancy contracts or atypical staff. The term ‘atypical’ is used to describe working arrangements that are not permanent, involve complex employment relationships and/or involve work away from the supervision of the normal work provider.
Counts of staff represent counts of full person equivalents (FPE). This is to allow for the fact that individuals can hold more than one contract within an institution and each contract may involve more than one activity. Full person equivalents are calculated by dividing staff counts among their activities in proportion to the declared full-time equivalent for each activity. Staff FPE counts are calculated on the basis of contract activities that were active on 1 December of the reporting period.
All counts of staff have been rounded to the nearest five in accordance with HESA policy in order to protect the confidentiality of individuals. As totals have also been rounded based on unrounded values, some may be higher
11
or lower than the individual count numbers presented in the report.
Percentages are based on known staff data and calculated from unrounded data. Throughout the report, .. represents a percentage calculated on a population of between 0 and 52 inclusive. These percentages have been suppressed to protect against over interpretation of small numbers. Averages based on seven or fewer staff members have also been suppressed for this reason.
Academic staff
2012/13 onwards Academic staff are defined as staff with at least one academic contract of employment and whose contract activity can be categorised as ‘Managers, directors and senior officials’,‘Professional occupations’ or ‘Associate professional and technical occupations’ (defined by the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) major groups 1, 2 or 3). This may therefore include vice-chancellors and other senior academic managers, medical practitioners, dentists, veterinarians and other health care professionals whose contract of employment includes an academic function.
The academic employment function may be teaching, research, teaching and research or neither teaching nor research (where an academic professional has taken up a senior administrative responsibility but there is no change to the academic function in their contract of employment).
12
Prior to 2012/13 Academic staff were defined as those staff responsible for planning, directing and undertaking academic research and teaching within higher education institutions. This category may also include vice chancellors, principals, and clinical and healthcare professionals who undertake teaching or research activities.
Professional and support staff
2012/13 onwardsHESA now refers to these staff as ‘non-academic staff,’ and defines them as staff who do not have an academic employment function. They include managers, non academic professionals, student welfare workers, secretaries, caretakers and cleaners. For the purposes of this report, these staff are referred to as professional and support staff.
Prior to 2012/13 Those who did not have an academic employment function, such as managers, non-academic professionals, student welfare workers, cleaners, caterers and secretaries.
Location of institution
The allocation of an institution to a geographical region relates only to the administrative centre of that institution. There may be staff employed at institutions who are working in regions other than that of the administrative centre of the institution.
13
Although the Open University operates throughout the UK, its administrative centre is located in England, and is counted as a wholly English institution.
Nationality
Nationality defines the country of legal nationality. Data is supplied to HESA in the form of country codes.
UK nationality staff are those whose country of legal nationality is the UK, including the Channel Islands and Isle of Man.
Non-UK-nationality staff are those whose country of legal nationality is a country other than the UK.
Equality areas
AgeThis report uses the following age categories and is calculated at 31 August in the reporting year:
25 and under 26 to 30 31 to 35 36 to 40 41 to 45 46 to 50 51 to 55 56 to 60 61 to 65 66 and over
In some cases these categories have been aggregated.
14
BME Black and minority ethnic.
This definition is widely recognised and used to identify patterns of marginalisation and segregation caused by an individual’s ethnicity. ECU recognises the limitations of this definition, particularly the assumption that minority ethnic staff are a homogenous group. Where possible, this report will present data disaggregated by more detailed ethnicity categories in addition to data consolidating BME staff as a group.
Disability Disability is recorded within the HESA staff record on the basis of self-assessment using one of three possible categories:
declared disabled not known to be disabled information not provided
This report uses the term ‘disabled staff’ to refer to staff who were indicated as disabled on their HESA staff record. ‘Non-disabled staff’ is used to refer to staff who have indicated that they are not disabled, or whose disability status is unknown by their institution. This aligns with the new student requirements and HESA reporting standards.
Prior to 2012 ‘Non-disabled staff’ figures did not include staff whose disability status was unknown by their institution; this group therefore constituted a smaller proportion of the staff population and, conversely, ‘disabled staff’ a larger proportion. As a result, the percentage of staff in the disabled category may represent a slight undercount
15
compared with how they were reported prior to our 2012 report.
Ethnicity Ethnicity within the HESA staff record is based upon the 2001 census classification system. For the purposes of this report, the census categories have been aggregated into six groups:
white – all white ethnic groups including white British black – black Caribbean, black African, black British
and black other Asian – Asian Indian, Asian Pakistani, Asian
Bangladeshi, Asian British and Asian other Chinese mixed other ethnic background
Where the numbers are large enough, some analyses are reported in more detailed groupings.
For some analyses the non-white groups have been further aggregated into a single black and minority ethnic (BME) group.
2012/13 onwards From 2012/13 Arab was added to the coding frame for staff ethnicity. Where ethnicity is aggregated as above, Arab has been grouped into other ethnic background
16
Gender
2012/13 onwardsBeginning in 2012/13, the staff record replaced the gender field with a legal sex field, of which the possible options are male and female. Due to the requirement to return this information to HM Revenue and Customs, legal sex information will be known for all staff with the exception of those holding solely non-academic atypical contracts, for whom sex may legitimately not be known.
For the purposes of this report, data from the legal sex field will be referred to as ‘gender.’
Prior to 2012/13 The HESA staff record included a gender field, with the possible options of male, female or indeterminate.
HESA used the category ‘indeterminate’ – which is consistent with the managing information across partnerships (MIAP) common data definitions coding frame – to refer to intersex people. Intersex people are individuals born with anatomy and physiology that differs from contemporary ideals of what constitutes ‘normal’ male and female. It is recognised that some intersex people may find the indeterminate category used by HESA for the previous field offensive. For data return purposes, institutions were able to ask staff about their gender using the intersex terminology and return any positive responses to HESA using the MIAP coding and terminology in 2011/12.
Staff who identified as intersex were excluded in any analysis of 2002/03 to 2011/12 data. This is because any statistics drawn from these small numbers would not give
17
accurate information about the proportion of intersex people in the sector.
ECU recommends when monitoring sex to include categories of ‘other’ and ‘prefer not to say’ alongside male and female. This will allow anyone who associates with terms including intersex, androgyne, intergender, ambigender, gender fluid, polygender and genderqueer to complete the question
Gender identity Gender identity is a person’s internal perception and experience of their gender. Someone’s gender identity does not necessarily have to be the same as the gender they were assigned at birth.
Beginning with the 2012/13 staff record, institutions have the option of returning information to HESA on whether a person’s gender identity is the same as originally assigned at birth. The possible field options are yes, no, and information refused. This information is recorded on the basis of the staff member’s own self-assessment.
For further information on monitoring sex and gender identity, see www.ecu.ac.uk/guidance-resources/using-data andevidence/monitoring-questions.
Religion and belief Religion or belief refers to the full diversity of religious and belief affiliations within the UK, including non-religious and philosophical beliefs such as atheism, agnosticism and humanism.
Beginning with the 2012/13 staff record, institutions now have the option of returning religion and belief data to
18
HESA. This information is recorded on the basis of the staff member’s own self-assessment.
The possible field options are: no religion; Buddhist; Christian (with further denominational options provided in Scotland and Northern Ireland); Hindu; Jewish; Muslim; Sikh; Spiritual; any other religion and belief; and prefer not to say/information refused. For the purposes of this report, all Christian denominational options have been aggregated into a single Christian category.
Sexual orientation Sexual orientation is a person’s sexual orientation towards people of the same sex as him or her, people of the opposite sex from him or her, and people of both sexes. This relates to a person’s feelings rather than their actions.
Beginning with the 2012/13 staff record, institutions have the option of returning sexual orientation data to HESA. The HESA sexual orientation field has the following possible options: bisexual, gay man, gay woman/lesbian, heterosexual, other, information refused. This information is recorded on the basis of the staff member’s own self-assessment.
Mode
Full-time staff are those whose contracts state that their mode of employment is full-time. This includes staff who work full-time for part of the year and term-time only staff who work full-time during the term. Part-time staff are those whose contracts state that their mode of employment is part-time.
19
Please note that the mode of employment is an attribute of the contract, not the person. Therefore, a person will be counted as wholly part-time even if they hold a number of part-time contracts that add up to one full-time equivalent (FTE). The FPE allocated to the full-time category will only reflect the people that hold a part-time contract. This is consistent with the treatment of other attributes of the contract.
Contract type
Permanent staff Those who were employed on a contract of employment that states the member of staff as permanent or on an open-ended contract. This includes term-time-only staff who were employed on an open-ended contract.
Fixed-term contract staff Fixed-term contract staff are those employed for a fixed period or who have an end date on their contract of employment. This includes staff on rolling fixed-term contracts.
Contract level
Contract levels records the UCEA or XpertHR defined level of the contract. Contract levels are used to define professors and senior management (see professorial status and senior management post holder).
Head of institution – vice-chancellor (VC)/principalThe most senior manager within the institution (ie chief executive officer).
20
2A – deputy vice-chancellor (DVC)/pro vice-chancellor (PVC) These roles are the highest level appointments reporting directly to the VC and will have primary responsibility for the organisation’s performance and strategic development. They are responsible for a major part of the academic life of the university and are differentiated from Level 3 by having responsibility across the institution. They may have Dean responsibilities for a specific faculty in addition to their D/PVC responsibilities. Likely to deputise for the VC and likely to apply to a handful of positions in the institution.
2B – chief operating officer, registrar, university secretary These roles are the highest level of appointment reporting directly to the VC and will have primary responsibility for the organisation’s performance and strategic development. They are responsible for, or have an overseeing role over, all/most of the internal professional/administrative services of the institution. They have responsibility for more than one functional area at a strategic rather than an operational level. Likely to apply to a handful of positions in the institution.
3A – head/director of major academic area These roles will be heads of major academic areas where a number of schools/departments/divisions are combined into a small number of larger groupings. These roles have significant management and resource responsibility and will be part of the university’s senior management team (although level 2 roles may meet separately as the ultimate executive decision-makers). Likely to be a very small number in the institution. Likely to be deans/ directors of faculty/ head of academic division.
3B – director of major function/group of functions eg finance, corporate services, human resources (HR)
21
These roles have overall responsibility for matters across a major function or group of functions or defined activity. Will be part of the university’s senior management team (although level 2 roles may meet separately as the ultimate executive decision-makers).
3/4A1 – head of school/division/department/centre size 1 Head of distinct area of academic responsibility, likely to be a school or department. Unlikely to be on the senior management team, unless it is the first level of function head below the role of level 2.
3/4A2 – head of school/division/department/centre size 2 Head of distinct area of academic responsibility, likely to be a school or department and will have responsibility for all staff within the school/department. Unlikely to be on the senior management team, unless it is the first level of function head below the role of level 2.
3/4A3 – head of school/division/department/centre size 3 Head of distinct area of academic responsibility, likely to be a school or department. Unlikely to be on the senior management team, unless it is the first level of function head below the role of level 2.
4A – head of a sub-set of academic area/directors of small centres Will have responsibility for a subset of a division/department/school (eg subject discipline group) or research group, or cross school/ department responsibility (eg director of research). May include professors who head departments/research centres.
4B – senior function head Will have full responsibility for a complete function or activity below senior management team level but will be part of the management team for the overall function.
5A – professor
22
Senior academic appointments which may carry the title of professor but which do not have departmental line management responsibilities.
5B – function head These roles have full managerial responsibility for one or more activities and input into policy formation for those activities. Responsibility for staff within the area of activity.
Level I – non-academic staff section manager, senior lecturer (pre-92), principal lecturer (post-92), reader, principal research fellow To be responsible for the day-to-day management of a significant professional service unit, activity, department or project, with specifically identified responsibilities. Includes academic subject specialists, academic programme coordinators and/or academic staff with high level expertise/knowledge.
Level J – section/team leader (professional, technical, administrative), lecturer B (pre-92), senior lecturer (post-92), senior research fellow Responsible for the day-to-day management of a team of staff. Specialists with experience or seniority but limited management responsibility may be found at this level. In the case of academic staff there may be no responsibility for staff or budgets but substantial responsibility for students.
Level K – senior professional/technical staff, lecturer A (pre-92), lecturer (post-92), research fellow, researcher/senior research assistant, teaching fellow Operates at an experienced, professional level in a single area of work without supervision. Likely to be responsible for less experienced staff at level L and below and may coordinate the activities of a team. In the case of academic staff there may be no responsibility for staff or budgets but significant responsibility for students.
23
Level L – professional/technical/senior administrative staff, research assistant, teaching assistant Operates as a fully competent professional within a single area of work with minimal supervision. This is a standard ‘Officer’ level. For academic jobs this is an assistant or instructor role. In some professional areas this would be the expected entry level.
Level M – assistant professional staff, administrative staff Typically an entry level professional, working under instruction from others within a defined area of work. May be part-qualified in an appropriate professional discipline. May supervise/assist/guide less experienced administrative staff. Would not cover academic roles.
Level N – junior administrative staff, clerical staff, technician/ craftsman, operative Normally working under closer supervision than level M staff but experienced in specific areas of job role. Responsibility mainly for performing a range of simple, routine tasks within basic procedures and under regular supervision. May be a school leaver, trainee or modern apprentice. Would not cover academic roles.
Level O – routine task provider Carrying out a range of simple tasks within a defined routine and where guidance is readily available/under regular supervision. Some planning and organising of own workload will typically be required (largely around the timing and sequencing of assigned tasks to make sure deadlines are met).
Level P – simple task provider Carrying out simple and/or repetitive tasks under close supervision, typically supporting students and staff often as part of a team engaged in the same tasks. These tasks and routines are generally simple and repetitive and are closely supervised.
24

Occupational group
The standard occupational classification (SOC) provides a national standard for categorising occupational information. SOC forms the basis of occupational classification in a variety of national surveys that collect statistical information such as the Labour force survey and New earnings survey. The utilisation of SOC for classifying occupations within the HE sector therefore both allows for the heterogeneity of occupations that exist and enables comparisons to be made with other sectors of the economy and from a variety of data sources.
2012/13 onwards HESA has used the SOC2010 variant of the SOC coding frame: www.hesa.ac.uk/C12025/A/ACTSOC. This version maintains the same nine major groups used in previous versions of SOC, but it is no longer possible to replicate the variant previously used by HESA for staff in the HE sector, which permitted staff to be grouped into thirteen broad occupational activities. In addition, the association of academic and non-academic activities solely with SOC major groups is no longer possible, due to the incorporation of both types of activities at the sub-major level. Consequently, staff may be pursuing an academic or non academic activity within a given SOC major group, whereas previously certain SOC groups were held to be entirely academic or non-academic in their own right.
The publication of staff activities by SOC major group may therefore now occur with or without reference to the
25
academic nature of that activity, whereas previously this was implicit in the titles of the activities published. Care should be taken when comparing data across years.
For the purposes of this report, only academic staff in SOC groups 1–3 are shown in occupational tables, though a small number of academic staff are in SOC groups outside of these. While these staff are not shown in their respective occupational groups, they are included in the academic total. For this reason, the sum of academic occupational groups is not equal to the academic total presented in all tables relating to occupational group.
Prior to 2012/13
Staff contracts were categorised within the HESA staff record into one of 13 groups derived using the standard occupational classification system:
academic professionals non-academic professionals managers laboratory, engineering, building, IT and medical
technicians (including nurses) student welfare workers, careers advisors, vocational
training instructors, personnel and planning officers artistic, media, public relations, marketing and sports
occupations library assistants, clerks and general administrative
assistants secretaries, typists, receptionists and telephonists chefs, gardeners, electrical, mechanical and
construction trades and printers caretakers, residential wardens, sports and leisure
attendants, nursery nurses and care occupations retail and customer service occupations
26
drivers, maintenance supervisors and plant operatives cleaners, catering assistants, security officers, porters
and maintenance workers
Academic contract
Teaching-only staff Teaching-only staff are those whose contract of employment states that they are employed only to undertake teaching.
Research-only staff Research-only staff are those whose contract of employment states that their primary academic employment function is research only, even though the contract may include a limited number of teaching hours.
Teaching and research staff Teaching and research staff are those whose contract of employment states that they are employed to undertake both teaching and research.
Neither teaching nor research staff Staff whose contracted academic employment function is neither teaching nor research, eg vice-chancellor.
27
Academic subject area
The coding frame for cost centre was revised for the 2012/13 staff record and therefore 2012/13 academic subject area data is not comparable with previous years.
SET Science, engineering and technology.
Departments (SET) This report uses generic classification of academic departments from the HESA staff record.
2012/13 onwards Departments classified as science, engineering and technology (SET) in this report are:
agriculture, forestry and food science anatomy and physiology archaeology architecture, built environment and planning biosciences chemical engineering chemistry civil engineering clinical dentistry clinical medicine earth, marine and environmental sciences electrical, electronic and computer engineering general engineering geography and environmental studies IT, systems sciences and computer software
engineering mathematics mechanical, aero and production engineering
28
mineral, metallurgy and materials engineering nursing and allied health professions pharmacy and pharmacology physics psychology and behavioural sciences veterinary science
Prior to 2012/13 Subject areas classified as SET in previous reports were:
agriculture and forestry anatomy and physiology archaeology architecture, built environment and planning biosciences chemical engineering chemistry civil engineering clinical dentistry clinical medicine earth, marine and environmental sciences electrical, electronic and computer engineering general engineering geography IT and systems sciences, computer software
engineering mathematics mechanical, aero and production engineering mineral, metallurgy and materials engineering nursing and paramedical studies pharmacy and pharmacology physics psychology and behavioural sciences veterinary science
Departments (non-SET)29
2012/13 onwards
This report uses generic classification of academic departments from the HESA staff record.
Departments classified as non-SET (science, engineering and technology) in this report are:
anthropology and development studies area studies art and design business and management studies catering and hospitality management classics continuing education economics and econometrics education English language and literature health and community studies history law media studies modern languages music, dance, drama and performing arts philosophy politics and international studies social work and social policy sociology sports science and leisure studies theology and religious studies total academic services central administration and services premises residences and catering staff and student facilities

Prior to 2012/13 Subject areas classified as non-SET in previous reports were:
business and management studies catering and hospitality management central administration and services continuing education design and creative arts education health and community studies humanities and language-based studies media studies modern languages premises residences and catering social studies sports science and leisure studies staff and student facilities total academic services
Academic roles
Professorial status
2012/13 onwards HESA uses data from the contract level field to derive information about staff members’ professorial status. Staff holding a contract which aligns with the Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) contract level 5A (Professor) are considered to hold professorial status. This level indicates a senior academic appointment which may carry the title of professor but which does not have departmental line management responsibilities. For further guidance on the levels to which contracts can be
31
aligned, see www.hesa.ac.uk/12025/a/LEVELS.
Prior to 2012/13 ‘Professor’ was a term associated with those returned in the HESA staff record as holding a contract which conferred the title of professor to the holder, regardless of whether an institution’s local grade structure contained a professor grade. Data prior to 2012/13 is therefore not comparable to data from 2012/13 onwards.
Senior management post holder 2012/13 onwards HESA uses data from the contract level field to derive information about whether a staff member is a senior manager. Staff holding a contract at contract levels HOI–5B are considered to be a senior manager.
Prior to 2012/13 The HESA staff record included a senior management post holder field, which was used to indicate whether senior management/ administrative responsibilities within the institution were associated with a staff member’s contract. Data prior to 2012/13
32
Salaries and pay
Salaries Salary is based on the contract salary for members of staff at each institution at 31 July in the reporting period, or the end date of the contract if earlier. Members of staff for whom the concept of a per annum contractual salary does not apply (eg staff paid hourly, staff with zero-hour contracts etc) have been excluded from the salary analysis.
Salary range This report presents salary ranges in two ways. Please note that for part-time staff, salary ranges and academic pay spine ranges have been scaled up to a full-time equivalent.
Three salary ranges, consistent with previous reports under £30,000 £30,000 to £50,000 over £50,000
Academic pay spine range This report includes contract salaries grouped into six salary ranges. The upper and lower of each range is aligned with salary spine points used in the framework salary spine. www.hesa.ac.uk/includes/C12025_resources/Single_pay_spine.xlsx
contract salary < £17,503contract salary ≥ £17,503 and < £23,352contract salary ≥ £23,352 and < £31,331contract salary ≥ £31,331 and < £42,055contract salary ≥ £42,055 and < £56,467contract salary ≥ £56,467(< less than, ≥ more than or equal to)
33
Contract salaries reported to HESA based on the framework salary spine or framework clinical spine, plus salaries not set against a nationally negotiated pay spine range, are included in this analysis. Where HESA is provided with both a salary point (within the framework pay spine range or framework clinical spine) and an enhanced salary figure (eg London weighting), the actual enhanced salary is used.
Median salary and median pay gap If all salaries were ordered in a list, the median salary would be the middle salary.
The median pay gap for disability, ethnicity and gender, has been calculated as:
(non-disabled staff median salary – disabled staff median salary) ÷ non-disabled staff median salary
(white staff median salary – BME staff median salary) ÷ white staff median salary
(male staff median salary – female staff median salary) ÷ male staff median salary
Salary is based on the contract salary for members of staff at each institution at 31 July in the reporting period, or the end date of the contract if earlier.
Mean salary and mean pay gap The mean is equal to the sum of the values divided by the number of values.
Mean salary is calculated by multiplying the contract salary by FPE and dividing by the sum of the FPE:
sum (FPE x salary) ÷ sum (FPE) The mean pay gap for disability, ethnicity and gender has been calculated as:
34
(non-disabled staff mean salary – disabled staff mean salary) ÷ non-disabled staff mean salary
(white staff mean salary – BME staff mean salary) ÷ white staff mean salary
(male staff mean salary – female staff mean salary) ÷ male staff mean salary
Salary is based on the contract salary for members of staff at each institution at 31 July in the reporting period, or the end date of the contract if earlier.
Destination of leavers Leavers are academic members of staff for whom all contracts ended on or after 1 December in the previous reporting period and before or on 1 December in the current reporting period.
A staff member who retired prematurely and received a pension is regarded as a leaver and recorded as retiring, unless they are immediately re-employed in an institution’s service. A member of staff whose contract ended but who immediately started another contract, and therefore did not leave the HEI, is not included as a staff leaver. Staff on multiple contracts where one of these contracts came to an end are also not included as a staff leaver if they were still employed in institutional service under one or more other contracts. All data on staff leavers excludes atypical staff.
HESA collects data on the destination of leavers to enable information to be provided about cross-fertilisation between HE and other areas of employment and the migration of HE staff to and from the UK.

Overview
In 2012/13, there were 185,585 academic staff working in higher education, representing a 23.5% increase from 2003/04 levels. During this same period, the number of professional and support staff increased by 4.8% (196,935 in 2012/13, compared with 187,875 in 2003/04).
However, professional and support staff still comprised the majority of all staff working in higher education (51.5%).
A higher proportion of part-time staff were on fixed-term contracts than full-time staff. Of those who worked part-time, 55.7% of academic and 20.0% of professional and support staff were on fixed-term contracts, compared with 25.2% of academic and 12.0% of professional and support staff working full-time.
SET academic staff were concentrated in certain subject areas. For example, 21.3% worked in clinical medicine, 12.3% in biosciences and 9.1% in nursing and allied health professions.
Within non-SET subject areas, relatively large proportions of staff worked in business and management studies (15.8%), education (10.9%) and art and design (9.9%).
Overall, 9.6% of academic staff held professorial roles. A higher proportion of SET academic staff were professors (10.9%) than those working in non-SET subject areas (8.2%).
0.8% of academic staff were senior managers, 67.4% of whom worked in non-SET subject areas.
The proportion of senior managers who worked full-time (93.0%) was higher than that of other academic staff (65.8%).
37
A higher proportion of academic staff earned over £50,000 (27.7%) than professional and support staff (5.3%).
Between 2011/12 and 2012/13, 17.8% of academic staff left employment at their institution (15.8% of UK and 22.0% of non-UK academic staff).
Of those with a known leaving destination, 53.3% of UK and 50.0% of non-UK leavers found employment in the UK – for about half of these leavers, within another UK higher education institution.
41.8% of UK leavers were no longer in employment, compared with 26.6% of non-UK leavers, a difference of 15.2%.
The majority of staff in higher education worked in England (82.7%). 10.3% of staff worked in Scotland, 5.2% in Wales and 1.8% in Northern Ireland.

Academic subject area
Academic staff in SET subject areas had a younger profile than those in non-SET areas, with 47.0% aged 40 and under, compared with 34.7% of academic staff in non-SET subject areas (see fig. 1.7).
The age profiles of academic staff were younger in certain SET subjects. For example, 24.7% of academic staff in chemistry, 22.9% in physics and 20.3% in electrical, electronic and computer engineering were aged 30 and under.
In contrast, just 3.4% of those in nursing and allied health professions were aged 30 and under, and 44.6% were over the age of 50 – more than double the proportion in chemistry (18.1%).

Percentages based on total number of staff minus those whose subject area or age group is unknown.
Across non-SET subjects, the majority of academic staff were between the ages of 31 and 50. 9.8% were aged 30 and under, and 11.2% were aged 61 and over.
Certain non-SET subject areas had a markedly younger age profile than others. For example, 22.8% of academic staff in sports science and leisure studies, 19.0% in economics and econometrics, and 17.7% in philosophy were aged 30 and under, compared with 2.8% of academic staff in education.
Conversely, others had an older age profile. For example, there were particularly high proportions of academic staff aged 51 or over in subject areas such as in education (54.9%), continuing education (46.7%) and central administration and services (45.2%).

Destination of leavers
Leavers refers to academic staff who left their HEI between 2011/12 and 2012/13
Leaving rates were highest among academic staff from the youngest and oldest age groups. 33.9% of academic staff aged 30 and under and 21.1% of those aged 61 and over left their institution between 2011/12 and 2012/13, compared with 11.6% of those aged 41–50.
With the exception of academic staff aged 51 and over, in every age group a higher proportion of non-UK academic staff left their institution between 2011/12 and 2012/13 than UK academic staff.

The majority of leavers aged 50 and under with a known leaving destination went into UK employment. 31.5% of leavers aged 31–40 and 32.3% of those aged 41–50 left their institution for employment at another UK HEI. This was lower among leavers aged 30 and under (23.5%) and those aged 51–60 (20.2%) and 61 and over (4.3%).
Rates of leavers entering non-UK employment were relatively similar across all age groups (between 6.1% and 6.7%) except for those aged 51 and over (3.7% and below). 23.9% of leavers aged 31–40 were no longer in employment, compared with 84.9% of leavers aged 61 and over.

Among non-UK leavers with a known leaving destination, the majority of those aged 40 and under left their institution for employment in the UK.
29.1% of non-UK leavers aged 41–50 moved to another UKHEI, which was higher than for leavers aged 30 and under (18.7%) and older leavers (19.7% of those aged 51–60 and 3.9% of those aged 61 and over).
Leaving rates to non-UK employment were relatively high in comparison to UK leavers (see fig. 1.11). Between 20.3% and 26.7% of non-UK leavers aged 50 and under moved to
129
non-UK employment, with the most common destination among these generally being an HEI.
Within every age group, the proportion no longer in employment was lower among non-UK leavers than among UK leavers (see fig. 1.11).

2 Disability
The proportion of staff disclosing as disabled increased from 2.2% in 2003/04 to 3.9% in 2012/13.
Between 2011/12 and 2012/13 the proportion staff disclosing as disabled increased by 0.5%. This has been the largest annual increase since 2003/04 with the exception of the 2007/08 to 2008/09 period, (an increase of 0.9%).

Overall, 7.7% of non-disabled staff were in senior contract levels (HOI–5B), compared with 5.9% of disabled staff.
Out of 170 heads of institutions, five disclosed as disabled (2.4%).
5.0% of staff in junior administrative, clerical, technical, craftsmen or operative roles (N) disclosed as disabled, compared with 2.1% of deputy/pro vice chancellors (2A).

4.5% of part-time professional and support staff disclosed as disabled, compared with 3.9% of part-time academic staff. The proportion of part-time academic staff who disclosed as disabled was slightly higher than the proportion of full-time academic staff (3.1%) (see fig. 2.11).
The proportion of staff disclosing as disabled varied more widely by occupational group for part-time staff than full-time staff (see fig. 2.11).
For example, 7.1% of part-time academic staff in associate professional and technical occupations disclosed as disabled, compared with 2.5% of part-time professional and support staff in the process, plant and machine operative group, a difference of 4.6%.
However, the numbers of staff in these occupational groups were small.

3 Ethnicity
Between 2003/04 and 2012/13, the proportion of staff who were UK white decreased among both academic and professional and support staff (by 7.5% and 5.0%, respectively).
Among UK academic staff, a higher proportion of white staff were on open/permanent contracts than BME staff within all modes.
Overall, 8.5% of UK white staff were in senior contract levels, compared with 6.1% of UK BME staff. While this difference was relatively small, very few BME staff were in higher senior contract levels above professor level.
The proportion of UK staff who were BME was markedly lower among managers, directors and senior officials on academic contracts (2.6%) and strikingly higher among professional and support staff in sales and customer service occupations (10.3%).
Within SET subject areas, electrical, electronic and computer engineering (47.6%) and mechanical, aero and production engineering (47.2%) had the highest proportions of non-UK staff who were BME. Archaeology (3.5%) and psychology and behavioural sciences (13.6%) had the lowest.
The proportion of UK black staff who were professors (4.0%) was lower than for any other ethnic group. The proportion of black non-UK academic staff who were professors (2.1%) was also lower than for any other ethnic group.
Around one in five white (19.1%), Asian (20.2%), Chinese (21.8%) and other (20.9%) UK academic staff earned a salary in the highest pay spine range of over £56,467. In contrast, 8.2% of black and 14.2% of mixed UK academic staff were in this pay spine range.
220
Among non-UK academic staff, 14.5% of white staff earned a salary of £56,467 or more, compared with 7.2% of BME staff (a difference of 7.3%).
While a higher proportion of BME UK academic leavers went into employment than white UK academic leavers, a smaller proportion moved to another UK HEI (21.7% compared with 24.0%).
Among UK leavers, 43.3% of white and 34.2% of BME leavers were no longer in employment; 15.7% of white leavers went into retirement compared with 6.0% of BME leavers.
Ethnicity overview
95.2% of UK national and 92.7% of non-UK national staff chose to report their ethnicity.
Of those with known ethnicity, there was a notably higher proportion of BME staff among non-UK staff (28.6%) than UK staff (7.8%).
The proportion of UK and non-UK staff who were BME was highest in England (8.9% and 29.8%, respectively) and lowest in Northern Ireland (1.9% and 9.4%).

Mode and contract type
Among UK academic staff, a higher proportion of white staff were on open/permanent contracts than BME staff within all modes. The largest difference (7.3%) was among staff working full-time, where 81.3% of white staff and 74.0% of BME staff were on open/ permanent contracts.
Among part-time UK academic staff, the majority of both white and BME staff were on fixed-term contracts (52.4% and 57.7% respectively).

Contract level
Contract levels are the UCEA or XpertHR defined level of a contract. Those in UCEA levels (HOI–5B) are considered to be senior staff, while those in XpertHR levels (I–P) are considered to be non-senior staff (below professorial level or function head).
Overall, 8.5% of UK white staff were in senior contract levels (HOI–5B), compared with 6.1% of UK BME staff.
While this difference was relatively small, very few BME staff were in higher senior contract levels above professor level (5A). For example, only 2.6% of UK deputy/pro vice chancellors (2A) and none of the 140 UK heads of institutions were BME.

Among non-UK academic staff, 10.2% of white staff were in senior contract levels (HOI–5B), compared with 4.6% of BME staff. This difference of 5.6% is larger than the one observed among UK academic staff (3.2%, see fig. 3.9).
While the number of non-UK academic staff in senior contract levels was relatively small, the majority of those in these roles were white. For example, 89.0% of non-UK academic heads of size 2 schools, divisions, or departments (3/4A2) and 86.0% of professors (5A) and function heads (5B) were white.
In contrast, over one third of non-UK academic staff in assistant professional and administrative roles (M; 34.1%) and professional, technical or senior administrative and research and teaching assistant roles (L; 33.4%) were BME. A relatively high proportion of academic staff in junior administrative, clerical, technician/craftsmen and operative roles (N; 39.7%) were also BME, though numbers overall were small.

Among non-UK professional and support staff, a higher proportion of white staff (2.3%) were in senior contract levels (HOI–5B) than BME staff (0.7%), though these proportions were much lower than for academic staff across both groups (see fig. 3.12).
The largest proportion of BME non-UK professional and support staff were found in simple task provider roles (P; 29.8), while the largest proportion of white non-UK professional and support staff were in assistant professional and administrative positions (M; 17.8%).

Occupational group
Among UK staff, similar proportions of both academic and professional and support staff were BME (7.9% and 7.8%, respectively).
266
However, the proportion of UK staff who were BME was markedly lower among managers, directors and senior officials on academic contracts (2.6%) and strikingly higher among professional and support staff in sales and customer service occupations (10.3%).
A higher proportion of UK staff working in professional and support occupations were black (2.2%) than in academic occupations (1.2%). The inverse was true of Chinese staff (1.3% compared with 0.6%).

Academic staff in SOC groups other than 1–3 have been included in the academic total but are not shown in an occupational group. The sum of academic occupational groups therefore is not equal to the academic total in this table.
Among non-UK staff, a higher proportion on professional and support contracts were BME (32.7%) than those on academic contracts (27.0%).
The ethnic profiles of non-UK professional and support staff vary by occupational group. For example, 51.0% of those in elementary occupations were BME, compared with 14.3% of those working as managers, directors and senior officials.
Within every occupational group, a higher proportion of non UK staff were BME than UK staff (see fig. 3.14).

7.9% of UK professors working in SET subject areas were BME, compared with 5.9% of those working in non-SET subject areas. With the exception of black professors, a larger proportion of UK professors within every ethnic group were in SET subject areas than non-SET subject areas. This was particularly pronounced among Chinese professors, of whom 84.0% worked in SET subject areas.
There was greater variation among non-professors. While a higher proportion of Chinese (76.0%), Asian (67.9%) and other (55.5%) academic staff were in SET subject areas than non-SET subject areas, there were roughly equal proportions of white and mixed UK non-professors in each subject area. A slightly higher proportion of black UK non-
323
professors were in non-SET subjects (51.4%) than SET subjects.

4 Gender
Beginning in 2012/13, the staff record replaced the gender field with a legal sex field, of which the possible options are male and female (see page 8 for more information).
For the purposes of this report, data from the legal sex field is referred to as gender.
The majority of professional and support staff were women (62.6%), whereas the majority of academic staff were men (55.5%).
Women comprised the majority of both part-time academic staff (54.7%) and part-time professional and support staff (79.5%).
Overall, a higher proportion of male academic staff were on open-ended/permanent contracts (66.8%) than female academic staff (61.5%), a difference of 5.3%.
11.8% of male staff were in senior contract levels, nearly three times the proportion of female staff (4.3%).
Women comprised the majority of academic staff in routine task provider roles (69.3%), assistant professional and administrative staff (54.5%), and professional/technical/senior administrative staff, research assistant and teaching assistant roles (52.5%).
For all other contract levels, men were in the majority among academic staff. This was most stark at the professorial and head of institution levels, where 78.3% and 81.2%, respectively, were men.
70.0% of professional and support staff working in assistant professional or administrative roles were women, compared with 40.6% of those in deputy and pro vice-chancellor positions.
390
The majority of all professors were men (78.3%). This gender difference was most notable among full-time professors working in SET subject areas, where 82.8% were men.
Overall, the median gender pay gap in the UK was 16.2% and the mean gender pay gap was 19.0%.
Gender overview
53.9% of staff working in UK HEIs were women.
The proportion of staff who were women in Northern Ireland was 0.8% lower than the national average of 53.9%. In England, Scotland and Wales the proportion of staff who were women was within 0.1% of the national average.

Contract level
Contract levels are the UCEA or XpertHR defined level of a contract. Those in UCEA levels (HOI–5B) are considered to be senior staff, while those in XpertHR levels (I–P) are considered to be non-senior staff (below professorial level or function head).
11.8% of male staff were in senior contract levels (HOI–5B), nearly three times the proportion of female staff (4.3%).
Women were most starkly underrepresented at the head of institution level: only 20.1% of all heads of institutions were women.
67.6% of junior administrative, clerical, technical/craftsmen and operative staff were women (N).

Occupational group
Men comprised the majority of staff on academic contracts (55.5%). The underrepresentation of women was most stark among academic managers, directors and senior officials, where they made up 38.2% of staff.
In contrast, the majority of staff on professional and support contracts were women (62.6%). This was true for all professional and support roles with the exception of those working as process, plant and machine operatives and in skilled trades occupations (18.9%).
Administrative and secretarial occupations had the highest proportion of women (81.9%).

When part-time staff were excluded from the occupational classification data, the proportion of staff who were women decreased in every occupational group (see fig. 4.10). The proportion of full-time academic staff who were women was 5.2% lower than for all academic staff. Similarly, the proportion of full-time professional and support staff who were women was 8.2% lower than for all professional and support staff.
420
This was particularly stark among professional and support staff in elementary occupations, where the proportion of full time staff who were women was more than half that of the proportion of all staff in elementary occupations (25.4% compared with 58.0%; see fig. 4.10).
Men comprised the majority of managers, directors and senior officials on both academic (62.5%) and professional and support full-time contracts (50.6%).

Among academic staff, the median gender pay gap was 13.6%, while the mean gender pay gap was 12.6%. The median gap was highest among academic staff working in professional occupations (13.4%) and the mean gap was highest among managers, directors and senior officials (14.8%).
However, there were negative median (-3.0%) and mean ( 1.3%) gender pay gaps for associate and technical academic professionals, meaning that women were paid, on average, slightly more than men in these occupations.
Among professional and support staff, the overall median and mean gender pay gaps were 11.0% each, though these varied widely by occupational activity.
453
For example, there was a median gender pay gap of 18.4% among professional and support staff in skilled trades, but a negative gap of -3.0% among those in administrative and secretarial occupations.

6 Other protected characteristics
The Equality Act 2010 extended the number of protected characteristics to cover new areas including gender identity, religion and belief and sexual orientation.
Changes to the HESA staff record for 2012/13 allowed institutions to return this information on an optional basis. This section presents high level findings on collection and monitoring rates. Because data is currently voluntary to return, we do not yet have a national demographic picture of the HE staff population in relation to gender identity, religion and belief, or sexual orientation.
ECU encourages institutions to collect and return these data where appropriate. Once the data begins to be captured and the numbers become reliable, ECU hopes to provide further detail on these characteristics in future reports.
Further guidance can be found at: www.ecu.ac.uk/guidance-resources/using-data-and-
evidence/collecting-data www.ecu.ac.uk/guidance-resources/using-data-and-
evidence/introducing-new-categories www.ecu.ac.uk/guidance-resources/using-data-and-
evidence/encouraging-disclosure-equality-info www.ecu.ac.uk/publications/developing-staff-disclosure
About this data Data on a staff record is said to be returned if the institution provided any information to HESA about gender identity, religion and belief or sexual orientation. This includes where a staff member selected prefer not to say or refused to provide information about the characteristic in question.
497
Where a staff record was returned to HESA without data, this section reports it as blank.
It is not possible to determine from the data presented whether the blank staff records were due to the question being unanswered or unasked.
Gender identity A small number of institutions reported a much higher than average proportion of their staff to have disclosed a gender identity different to the gender they were assigned at birth. This suggests that there may have been some data collection issues (ie the question could have been phrased in a way that led to confusion among participants).
Gender identity
Overall, 79 of 162 institutions (48.8%) returned staff data on gender identity to HESA.
Relatively high rates of Welsh (70.0%) and Scottish (66.7%) institutions returned this data, compared with 46.2% of English institutions and no Northern Irish institutions.

It is clear from the data that institutions have taken different approaches to monitoring staff gender identity, with institutional return rates concentrated on either extreme of the scale.
Of the 79 institutions who returned this data to HESA, 29.1% had returned data for up to 10% of their staff while 43.0% had done so for 90% or more of their staff.

It is not possible to determine from the data presented whether staff for whom there is no information (blank) were asked the question and did not provide a response or were not asked the question.
Of the staff in institutions that monitored gender identity, 34.5% provided information, 10.8% refused and 54.6% of returns were blank. This means that among staff in institutions that returned gender identity data to HESA, at least 45.3% of staff were given the option to return data on their gender identity.

Gender identity data was returned to HESA for 19.2% of staff. However, a small number of institutions reported a much higher than average proportion of their staff disclosed a gender identity different to the one they were assigned at birth. This suggests there may have been some issues with data collection. For example, the question could have been phrased in a way that led to confusion among participants.
While the relatively low return rate alongside possible data anomalies means that we do not yet have an accurate picture of gender identity in the staff population, the data is presented in order to give a sense of the question asked and possible responses.

Equality Challenge Unit
ECU works to further and support equality and diversity for staff and students in higher education across all four nations of the UK, and in colleges in Scotland.
ECU works closely with colleges and universities to seek to ensure that staff and students are not unfairly excluded, marginalised or disadvantaged because of age, disability, gender identity, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity status, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation or through any combination of these characteristics or other unfair treatment.
Providing a central source of expertise, research, advice and leadership, we support institutions in building a culture that provides equality of both opportunity and outcome, promotes good relations, values the benefits of diversity and provides a model of equality for the wider UK society.
